I’m not the type of person who assumes that the best tech for me is something that was just announced this week. Take, for example, the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones, which were introduced a little under three years ago. These over-the-ear, noise-canceling headphones, currently our pick for the best wireless headphones for most people, are now on sale at Amazon in select colors starting at $249.99 ($150 less than their usual $399.99). You can also grab them from Best Buy and directly from Sony for $319.99, a discount of about $80.
While the WH-1000XM5 didn’t offer anything revolutionary when they came out, according to our reviewer, they had a fresh design, cleaner sound, and better ANC than their predecessor. The design was revamped to be more refined and comfortable, and if you tend to take a lot of phone calls, the headphones’ eight microphones will make sure your voice is heard. If you travel a lot, there is a certain inconvenience — the WH-1000XM5s don’t fold down, which means they’re not as easy to store — but otherwise, this is a pair of headphones you might want to check out.
